Finally got my first!
Got my first deer yesterday over in Boyce, LA. After sitting on a ladder stand til 9:30, I got down to meet my cousin at the truck for 10. Well since my cousin brought me out there in the dark, I wasnt too sure on how to get back. I took off walking in what I thought was the right direction (actually complete opposite) I just kind of walked up on him at about 50 yards and then dropped to my knee. He looked and never saw me then went back to eating. Took a few steps into a clearing and stopped to take a bite of grass. And thats when I dropped the hamma! Killed him from a kneeling position right through the shoulder. He got about 10 yards and died in a creek bed.
12 point, 175 pounds. Overall a good deer and a good story for my first deer! Wanted to do a shoulder mount but not a good time to spend the bones during christmas. Will be doing a skull mount.
